Katherine was seated by her usual table in the cozy little coffee shop not far from the Taxon hotel, a large ceramic cup of fresh latte by her elbow. She chuckled to herself before addressing the tablet lying on the tabletop, the low sound suffused with amusement

Drusilla didn't celebrate. Her heart was heavy - the feeling in her chest could only be grief, another reminder that you could feel without a soul - as she crossed the city in silence. The cup of coffee was still sitting on the table when she arrived. She could smell it, just like she could smell the Extras and the pastries being arranged on the counter and, beneath that, the city outside.

No Katherine, though.

They'd left it too late to have their party. Now she'd have to have one on her own, in honour of another lost friend.

It was cold.

Winter was coming.

...oh gods what.

"Everyone see that?" Glitch asked, a sort of panic tinging his voice. "Did...that has never happened before, we've never seen someone disappear before."

He'd remember that, he knew would've.

This is the look of Party trying not to panic.

"That--that doesn't happen normally?" There's a slightly deflated tone. Sure, Katherine's kind of a bitch--okay she is a bitch--but just disappearing wigs him out. Reminds him of the tap-tap-tap dracs in Battery City, and then you just disappear. No one deserved that, even a haughty jerk.

"I I I don't know!" Oh gods not good. "I don't think anyone's seen someone go ho- vanish before. I-it's...it stays off the grid."

To use some sort of killjoyism.

[visual - to all] LATE. D:

Glitch is stuttering. Sure, Party's opinion on how Glitch is changes more than the tide, but he's not an idiot. If Glitch is panicking over something, then Party should probably be worried.

Especially if he just used the words of the wastes. Properly, too.

If Glitch had actually known Party a little better, he would realize that despite the pokerface Party's heart was racing and his mind was trying to work overtime. Instead, he's met with a set jaw and an odd, unreadable expression.

"This ain't milkshake," He says bluntly. "You have any--any records? Or they'll come back? Just...going?" Was he even making sense?
